N-Iodosuccinimide → 9-bromo-4-iodo-6-isopropylbenzo[c]-1,6-naphthyridin-1(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 9-bromo-6-isopropylbenzo[c]-1,6-naphthyridin-1(2H)-one (81 mg, 0.26 mmol) in DMF (1.5 ml) was added NIS (86 mg, 0.38 mmol), and stirred for 24 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc until a solution was formed, and washed with a mixture of 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate and 1N NaOH. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was adsorbed on to silica gel and purified by silica gel chromatography using an EtOAc/Hexanes gradient to afford 9-bromo-4-iodo-6-isopropylbenzo[c]-1,6-naphthyridin-1(2H)-one. LRMS (ESI) calc'd for (C15H12BrIN2O) [M+H]+, 442.9; found 442.8.
